St. Louis, MO –
In case you have forgotten, the mortgage crisis that drove thousands of St. Louis area homeowners into foreclosure has not gone away. It simply doesn't receive as much media attention as it did a year ago.
In the first part of the KWMU series "Facing the Mortgage Crisis", Repps Hudson prepared this report on how bad the problem is now.
He has found the situation is actually worse for some area homeowners who live in neighborhoods that you might think would be immune from foreclosure.
